What happened: Tennessee did not plan to trade Amani Hooker, but Buffalo made a late push to pry the safety loose before the deadline, per ProFootballRumors. Hooker confirmed following the move that he will be ready to play on Sunday.
Why it matters: The addition provides veteran secondary help as Buffalo aims to protect its AFC-best standing. For Tennessee, parting with a starting safety reflects a continuing roster reset following a 1-7 start.
By the numbers: Hooker made 81 tackles with 1 sack in 16 games last season (2025) with the Titans. Buffalo is 7-1 in 2026 through 8 games, while Tennessee is 1-7 through 8 games.
What to watch: Hooker is scheduled to make his Buffalo debut on Sunday. The Bills will look to extend their four-game winning streak.
